Abstract
A chromakeying panel (20) for use in conjunction with a chromakeying system (10, 14, 50, 60) is disclosed (see figure). The panel (20) comprises a color pattern (40) having plurality of first locations bearing a first color within the color keying spectrum and a plurality of second locations bearing a second color within the color keying spectrum.

Derivation of studio camera position and motion from the camera image

TL;DR: In this paper, the camera position and motion are derived from the camera image by separating out the background and deriving from a background having a number of areas of hue and brightness different from adjacent areas estimates of movement from one image to the next.

Television image positioning and combining system

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for producing a background television image which moves corresponding to motion of a camera viewing a foreground scene, the image of which is combined with the background image by chroma-key, thus creating the appearance that both background and foreground are viewed by the same camera, although the background actually originates from separate cameras or recordings.
